It's me again back with some more friendly reminders! This time, electric type Pokémon. If you plan on breeding Pokémon, want to get a baby from a breeder, or just happen to catch a little guy below "level 5", then here's some tips.
Electric type babies notoriously have VERY bad control of their electrical powers. Even if you don't plan on battling with them, training them when they're young is so important or else they're gonna fry your electronics.
Shock posts (similar to scratching posts) are an extremely helpful device! They're safe for your little electric gremlin to shock and rub up against, and a lot of them will make fun noises or will deliver a treat when used. The ones that do different things based on the wattage they're shocked with may be a bit more expensive, but are VERY worth it in the long run when you don't have to replace your TV, laptop, phones, etc.
It's important for them to have a friend, either another young Pokémon or a tolerant older Pokémon. Your little guy might not realize how much electrical shocks hurt. Yelping in pain (the more exaggerated the better) is a good way to get them to stop, but another Pokémon is more likely to snap back at them. Which might seem scary, but it's SO important for baby Pokémon to realize that they can hurt people. Getting stronger or evolving without learning this can be incredibly dangerous. What are annoying "ow!" shocks as a baby can turn into medical emergencies when they're older.
